WaUe. At the depth Of about $500
feet waves are not felt The tempera-
ture is the same. varying only tribe
from the ice of the pole to the sun OF
the equator. A mile down the water
has pressure of over ton TO the
square inch. IL a box Of six feet deep
was filed with sea water and allowed
to eyaporate under the sun. there would
be two inches of salt left on the bottom.
Taking the average depth of the ocean
to be Three miles, there would be a
LAYER of pure salt $50 feet thick on the
bed of the Atlantic The water is
colder at the bottom than at the sur
face. In the many bays ON the coast
of Norway the water often freezes at
the bottom before il does above.
Waves are very deceptive. To look at
/ them IN a storm one would think the
water Travelled. The water stays
in the same place, but the motion
/ goes on Sometimes in storms
/ these waves are forty feet high, and
travel fifty miles an hour-more
than twice as fast as the swiftest
steamer. The distance from valley TO
